Chapter 266 - Lightning Struck Wood

  After hearing Lu Xuan's words, Zhong Jingshan subconsciously couldn't believe it.

  He looked into the insect room.

  The first thing that caught his eye was the still thin male insect, lying quietly on the ground, motionless.

  After several days of fighting, even if Lu Xuan nourished himself with poisonous insects from the insect valley every day, the male insect still looked exhausted.

  Behind the male insect, the female insect huddled quietly in the corner, and the three bumps on her back were very conspicuous.

  The moment he saw the three bumps, Zhong Jingshan's pupils shrank slightly, and he was happy and surprised at the same time.

  Getting this pair of poisonous heart-eating insects pregnant has been a major problem that has troubled him in recent years. The

  Hundred Poisonous Heart-eating Insects are of the fourth grade. The higher the grade, the more difficult it is to breed offspring. In addition, this pair of Hundred Poisonous Heart-eating Insects was cultivated by him since childhood, and they were as close as brothers to each other. The family affection far exceeded the love, so no matter how many ways he thought of, he couldn't successfully make them pregnant.

  Unexpectedly, when he went out, he found that this pair of Hundred Poisonous Heart-eating Insects were secretly pregnant behind his back!

  "How did you do it?"

  It was a bit inappropriate to ask directly, as it might involve some of Lu Xuan's privacy, but Zhong Jingshan was so curious that he couldn't help asking.

  "I used a kind of aphrodisiac miasma from the spiritual plants I planted myself, and the effect seems to be good."

  Lu Xuan said with a smile.

  In order to successfully conceive the pair of Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insects, he consumed most of the pink miasma produced by the Magic Peach spiritual plant.

  He cultivated several Magic Peach spiritual plants to get that amount of miasma. A large amount of miasma, plus the emotional foundation between the Hundred Poison Heart Devouring Insects, made it successful.

  Therefore, this method cannot be used frequently.

  Zhong Jingshan heard this and nodded, without further questioning.

  The two came to the insect room where the demon sword black mantis was.

  "Brother, wait a moment, when I was cultivating this mantis demon insect, I suddenly thought of a small game that can train the demon sword black mantis's killing skills, stimulate its killing instinct, and cultivate intimacy with it."

  Just as Zhong Jingshan was about to step into the insect room, Lu Xuan stopped him.

  Then, dozens of strange insects shot into the depths of darkness at different angles and times, and Zhong Jingshan saw the magical ability of the demon sword black mantis to cut strange insects in the dark.

  "Not bad."

  He nodded in admiration. With his vision as a true disciple, he could see at a glance that this little game had a great promoting effect on the growth of the demon sword black mantis.

  Lu Xuan's wonderful ideas made him feel bright.

  After the demon sword black mantis devoured all the strange insect corpses cut in half, it emerged from the darkness silently, glanced at Lu Xuan, and then found its master next to it.

  "Obviously I was here first..."

  Zhong Jingshan sighed silently, and such a thought flashed through his mind inexplicably.

  He had a ridiculous feeling that his beloved thing was taken away in front of him.

  However, the surprise Lu Xuan brought him was not over yet.

  The insect room where the Ningyu spider was.

  In a corner of the insect room, Lu Xuan isolated three small quiet rooms. A white jade spider the size of a millstone was quietly laying silk in one of them. In the other two rooms, two jade spiders were restlessly crawling around, wanting to fight but unable to find their targets.

  "Brother Zhong, when I was raising these jade spiders, I accidentally discovered three small abnormalities before they laid silk."

  "Their appetite increased, they had food-protecting behavior, and they actively avoided friction on their abdomens."

  "After discovering these, we can easily find the jade spiders that are about to lay silk, and separate them from the normal spiders, and then release them after they calm down, so that there will be no more melee."

  "This is a silk-spinning timetable I made. It records the approximate silk-spinning time of jade spiders with different serial numbers, so they can be isolated in advance. Of course, to get more detailed and accurate times, we need to do some experiments and statistics."   

  Lu Xuan handed Zhong Jingshan a table with a lot of data.

  The data in the table was detailed, simple and clear, which made Zhong Jingshan nod repeatedly.

  The insect room where the seven-star glassworms were located.

  "Brother Zhong, this is the glass sand I have collected in the past three months."

  After confirming that all the seven-star glassworms were growing well, Lu Xuan took out an agarwood box from the storage bag.

  Zhong Jingshan glanced at it, and his expression was calm on the surface, but he exclaimed

  in his heart. The number of glass sands that Lu Xuan handed in was more than he imagined.

  According to his usual experience when cultivating seven-star glassworms, it is impossible to get this number of glass sands in three months.

  There is only one possibility, that Lu Xuan took better care of these seven-star glassworms than usual, thereby increasing the production of glass sand.

  In his original idea, it didn't matter if the number of glass sands that Lu Xuan handed in was less than normal.

  Even if Lu Xuan was a little greedy, he would turn a blind eye and pretend that he didn't see it.

  But the larger number of glass sands made him suddenly not know how to deal with it.

  Back in the stone house, he thought about the things in the several insect rooms, and he felt more and more satisfied.

  "Junior Brother Lu, are you willing to stay in the Insect Valley for a long time and help me raise the demon insects?"

  He thought for a moment and suddenly asked.

  Lu Xuan was stunned, and a thought flashed through his mind, and he smiled and refused.

  "Thank you for your kindness, Senior Brother Zhong. I am used to being lazy, and I still prefer to take care of and cultivate spiritual plants and spiritual beasts by myself."

  "Okay."

  Zhong Jingshan didn't say anything else. He himself has this kind of personality, so he understands the decision made by Lu Xuan. It's just that he can't help asking because of Lu Xuan's outstanding ability in raising demon insects.

  "Junior Brother, you have worked hard."

  He said in a deep voice, and before he finished speaking, a bunch of sword prints floated in front of Lu Xuan.

  Lu Xuan knew that this was the reward for his hard work for several months, so he took it without hesitation.

  "This lightning-struck wood is something I got by chance. It is rich in vitality and should still be able to be raised."

  A piece of dry wood stopped in front of Lu Xuan. There were burnt marks all over the wood, which were intertwined together, like a series of lightning patterns.

  It looked like a dead tree, but when the spiritual consciousness probed into the inside, it could feel a special vitality born from destruction.

  Lu Xuan seemed to see a huge spiritual tree being hit by the surging power of thunder and lightning, and burned instantly, leaving only a small piece of lightning-struck wood with vitality.

  "With so many sword seals and a piece of rare lightning-struck wood, are the true disciples so rich?"

  Lu Xuan took the dry wood and couldn't help but sigh.

  Even if this piece of lightning-struck wood cannot be cultivated, it can be used to make flying swords, wooden talismans and other magical tools, which is precious.

  Thinking of helping Ge Pu solve the promotion problem of Yin Yang Kunyu before, he got a sword order from him, and had the opportunity to enter Langyue Blessed Land, and obtained huge opportunities such as Phoenix Wood and Demon Ghost Vine.

  Now, just for helping to raise the demon insects for a few months, Zhong Jingshan, who is also a true disciple, gave him hundreds of sword seals and a piece of rare lightning-struck wood.

  This gave Lu Xuan a more intuitive understanding of the wealth of the true disciples.
